1975: And the Changes to Come

Completed my second challenge book: 1975: And the Changes to Come by Arnold B Barach & the Kiplinger Washington Editors. (1962). 

It's a non-fiction work intended to take a look at how the world, and especially the United States, would change by 1975.  Unlike many such predictive books, many of its predictions are right on the money.  This isn't surprising since the book took such a restrained approach that one chapter was a very sober rundown on the safest investments over the next decade. 

It's also notable for many rare photos of architecture and technology of the future.
